Well, Well, What Do You Anti Obama People Have To Say About The Gains In The U.S. Economic Picture?

Question

Following the 5.6 percent pace of growth in the fourth quarter of last year, the back-to-back gains marked the economy’s best performance since the second half of 2003.

Consumer spending, which accounts for about 70 percent of the economy, rose at a 3.6 percent pace last quarter, compared with the 3.3 percent rate forecast by economists and a 1.6 percent gain in the prior three months. The increase was the biggest since the first quarter of 2007.

Let me ask you on the right this; Are you big enough to give the Obama administration credit for turning the economy around, at least getting it headed in a direction other than staring off of the edge of a cliff as it was during the end of Bush's 2nd term? Or will you continue on your negative path, happy to put your party before the good of America?

Answer 1

Don't let "Conservatives" CONTINUE lying to you! They know their base is so ignorant that, if they repeat a lie enough times, some people will begin to believe it.



Admittedly, the Bush/Republican recession, which started 2007, will go down in the history books as one of the worst ever!



THANK GOD Obama and the Dems are BEGINNING to turn things around! (though most experts agree it will take Dems about 14 years to clean up ALL the Repub messes)



ALL economic indicators now point to the fact that we ARE turning the corner, thanks to Obama and the Dems.



Employers were laying off 750,000 people PER MONTH under Bush;

Obama and the Dems have brought that down to less than 30,000!



The stock market, DOWN 61% under BUSH,

has INCREASED 65% from its low, since OBAMA took control.



The U.S. economy created 162,000 jobs in March 2010, the largest seasonally adjusted increase since the Bush/Republican recession began in 2007.



(I know; I know; "Conservatives" don't like "facts" or "education". Things can be scary when ya don't understand them).



"Conservatives" were PRAYING the country would fail, so they could whine "Obama did it" (that's pathetically UNpatriotic of "Conservatives", isn't it?).



PLEASE do whatever you can to keep the hateful, lying Republicans from weaseling their way back into power until Dems can complete the cleanup of all the Repub messes! (minimum 14 years)



I am another of many former Republicans, scared off by the irrational, uneducated, hate-filled, lying, fear-mongering, neoCon "loon-fringe", who have hijacked the G0P...

Answer 2

You know the nice thing about the internet? You can post stupid thoughts without any consequence.



Blah, blah,blah Bush blah......



I say that as I look around the nation that it is not improving and even if it did you wouldn't allow us to blame him for the economy, why would we allow you to credit him for it.



If you were willing to be accountable for your position I would take stock in it but like all lemmings when the storm comes you run for cover forgetting your rhetoric.

Answer 3

/ Reality is looking at where the unemployment figures were BEFORE Obozo took office, how much of our grandchildren's money he spent to stimulate the economy, where he got the money, and where the unemployment figure is today.



Obozo can blame Bush all he wants, and people like you can gullibly believe that nonsensical rhetoric, however look at the true figures in perspective. Obozo hasn't done anything but dig a hole and put America 6 feet lower.

Answer 4

Did you think recessions lasted forever without Obama's stimulus? No. If you look at history, recessions normally last around 18 months. His stimulus failed. The proof is that the unemployment rate is still over 9%.

Answer 5

With all the deficit spending, it's about time GDP grew. Do you count the amount you spend on a credit card as production? Borrowed spending by government shouldn't be counted as part of GDP, would give us a much more accurate picture of the health of the private sector.

Answer 6

Their is nothing that Obama did to make people go out and buy stuff.



He didn't even come on TV and encourage us to do so like Bush did.



If the economy does better, it is not automatically Obama's fault, and a return to regular consumerism is not an indication to me that it is doing better.

Answer 7

unemployment is still over 10% and the dow jones has NO real correlation on main street in america

Answer 8

I expected it. I also expect we will lose all of the gains once they start talking about how to pay for Obama's spending after the October electiions.

Answer 9

They always will try to find negatives in the face of overwhelming positives. Next they will complain that the economy isn't growing fast enough. Retardlicans are truly the most evil force the world has ever known.

Answer 10

Don't confuse them with facts. The idea that a half black man could cause an increase in the economy and not be a slave or a servant is past their frame of reference.

Answer 11

Printing money always works for a short term fix.

Answer 12

Wake me up when we're back to the Bush years:



14,000 DOW

4.7% unemployment

Answer 13

in case you didn't notice... all they are talking about is immigration now...



in other words... "CHANGE THE SUBJECT"... LOL
